I18N Maven Plugin

Usage

Generating an I18N class from an I18N resource file

The generate goal of the I18N plugin is bound to the generate-sources phase in the build lifecycle. As a result generated classes are available at compile time.

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      ...
      <plugin>
        <groupId>com.github.robtimus</groupId>
        <artifactId>i18n-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.1</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <goals>
              <goal>generate</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <bundleName>com.foo.bar.i18n</bundleName>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
      ...
    </plugins>
  </build>
  ...
</project>

This snippet will create class com.foo.bar.I18n from resource file i18n.properties in folder src/main/resources/com/foo/bar. Assuming the resource bundle contains key error.message, this can be accessed as follows:

String message = I18n.error.message();

If the message contains any place holders, these will be required in the method call:

String message = I18n.error.message("arg1", "arg2");
